The Chiefs are large road favorites in Week 11 against the Chargers. The Chiefs won the first matchup in Week 2.
The Chiefs opened as 6.5-point road favorites versus their AFC West rival Chargers for Sunday Night Football.
Kansas City won the first matchup this season at Arrowhead, 27-24.
The Chiefs currently lead the AFC West by two games and could all but wrap up the division at SOFI stadium on Sunday.
Patrick Mahomes and crew have remained the top offense in the NFL, despite losing Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins. The Chiefs are averaging 30 points per game this season, with Mahomes targeting all of his many weapons which includes newcomer Kadarius Toney, in addition to Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Mecole Hardman.
Even with Smith-Schuster and Hardman possibly missing this contest due to injuries, Mahomes is expected to get the best of a beat-up Chargers’ defense that has allowed plenty of big plays. The Chargers yield 25.3 points per game, and they are very easy to run on. Expect to also see plenty of rookie running back Isaiah Pacheco in this matchup.
The Chiefs are averaging 423 total yards per game this year, while the Chargers are allowing 356.
The Chargers have been struggling offensively this season. Justin Herbert has been playing injured and without top receiver Keenan Allen for much of the season. Mike Williams has the chance to return this week after missing multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain, and Austin Ekeler continues to be a versatile weapon out of the backfield.
Los Angeles averages 22.2 points per game this year. The Kansas City defense is beatable, allowing an average of 22.9 points per game this year, with much of it coming through the air. Herbert could be in line for a good game.
The Chargers average 350 total yards per game, while the Chiefs are allowing 347.
